Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Little Fat Man,

I think people was born in US. When they take the skin test, it should be no problem. However; move from the Asian county, it always has some reaction. It maybe the pollution is bad in Asian county. Like Mongkok, when I came last time ( 2002 ), I across the road, I need use my hand cover my nose. Hard to breath!

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

智仔媽咪,

When my girl was 17-8 month-old, we tried the free class in Gymboree. I think if your bb small, that's ok! It can stimulate her for music and active more. Although we joined the age from few months to 3 yrs class, but others kids seem very small. Thus, I did not join later. Anyway, I think this is a good class for bb!

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

智仔媽咪,

valerie 好中意去gymboree playgroup, 次次都笑得好開心, 所以如果時問o岩, 我今日會同佢再去. i have joined the 'plus' membership, so i can go to the playgroup as many times as i want if there are openings in the class. usually, class wont get full druign weekdays. 我叫左lidvia試下, 踼埋佢入會喇. 不過我有個friend既twins去左試, 就由頭cry到尾. the tuition in south bay is cheaper $360 for 24 weeks including one time registration fee for 'plus' whereas in san fran, it is $420....

i also think valerie 上個月開始進步左好多, 咁你番左hk, 多左咁多stimulations, baby 一定醒左好多 你會唔會攪個1st b-day party呀? 我諗幫valerie整個佢嘆下, 雖然佢唔知乜事, 但佢大過睇番會好開心(我諗 )

有時間就call我, 傾下計, 我email左我new cell phone # 俾大家

baby gigi,

i haven't sent out any pictures of valerie wor 不過我可以send D 俾各位aunties睇下佢個貓樣, 哈哈

shiba_inu

i have sent out the samples today lah, 唔好意思拖左咁耐. 就快生得, 係咪又緊張又excited呢? 我果時好期待睇下baby個樣...我從來冇見過初生baby, 所以第一眼見到valerie覺得佢几醜樣...但又覺得自己好似好衰, 唯有改口話 '都唔靚既' 呢句係我生完第一句講既野..咁第二句係叫我老公睇下佢D手指腳指.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Babygigi,

I know which moon cake brand you are talking about ( jui hor yuen)...I like their almond cookies too In the morning when Natalie wakes up, I will ask if she's hungry and she'll say "nai nai"...when I ask her the same question in the afternoon, she will say "mum mum (food)"... Sometimes I wonder how she can differentiate when to eat what ?-( ?-(

Yan831,

Welcome to our forum I think you are the first Pennsylvania mom here

Mrsyip,

Yes, the resturant is "yeung chun mein"... The japanese buffet closed down already, it's splitted into 2 resturants...mongolian bin lo and japanese ramen If we get together in the winter, we can all go "da bin lo" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Little Fat Man,

The shots that Mini-Matt got will kick in after 7 days. You might noticed his change in appetite or maybe run a fever at that time. Did the nurse or the ped. caution you Natalie lost her appetite between the 7th-10th day:cry: :cry: :cry:

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

valbee,
Looks like Gymboree in South Bay is much cheaper, I am thinking to go to the San Ramon campus, I called yesterday and their pricing before 9/6 is $280 for 24 classes but don't know if this is including the registration and the "plus" membership or not. I also heard about the "plus" membership program from my friend too, it sounds very flexible so we can go at anytime. But I've one concern is the class time, it is quite hard for me to find a right time that works best for me, what time do you usually select and which program valerie likes the most?

1st b-day party...still thinking to throw her one but it will be a small party at home as I don't have any relatives live here. How will you celebrate Val's big day? For my son when he turned 1, we just invited some friends over for BBQ and cut the cake, of course he knew nothing about it. Last year when he turned 3, we had a party at Chuckeecheese and he had a lot of fun.

Have you started to let Val to sit in the potty yet?

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Shiba_Inu,

俾你嚇咗一跳, 你用咗第二個名完全認唔到你, 我以為唔通我有咗之後連朋友都唔記得?? 我個2B係個肚入面真係做咗反斗星君... 完全不受控制... 連老公都見到我個肚係到郁黎郁去... 有D似ALIEN入侵咗咁呀! 不過食野都算OK, 我上次去OB到個女OB(睇開個男OB放假)叫我增肥...話我上個月同今個月磅重冇重過... 我話唔係化? 不過我呢排真係辛苦咗, 做多咗家務, 唔知係咪咁瘦返呢? SO FAR 係冇prepare 到D乜, 因為湊住咗大B都好辛苦, 冇乜時間執野, 不過呢, 記得BB既1-3個月衫仔係大B6個月大既時候PACK好咗, 遲D另返出黎返洗就得囉... 我諗... 真係太多野做都唔記得!

Nillie,

你嫁既係美國公民呢, 攞咗綠卡之後3年可以申請入籍, 如果你嫁既係永久居民, 佢唔係公民呢, 就攞咗綠卡之後5年先可以申請入籍囉!

Babygigi,

而家BB開始大, 佢識得嗲你架啦, 你ENJOY吓啦, 遲D再大D佢地都費事彩你! 我個B我而家都成日強制性要佢咀我, 係陰公D, 不過呢, 要我冧先得架, 做媽咪咁辛苦呀!!!

小肥佬,

你個仔訓得好就安樂晒啦! 今日你第一日朝九晚五, 點呀? 頂得住冇?? 有冇得閒 呀?

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

智仔媽咪,

valerie is going to level3 (the walker class), most of the babies are around 12-14 months old, so valerie is usually the youngest baby in the class. i have been to the crawler class and those babies are 6-10months old which i think si too 小兒科 for valerie. i think valerie gets more stimulations in the walker class and she enjoys watching other babies walking around.

i started potty training valerie to poo poo 3 weeks ago and it is going on well. every morning, we will sit her on the potty after her milk milk and she will poo poo there ...if she doesnt have any to poo, we'll let her sit there to read books for 10 minutes. the first time, we put her on the potty, she only sat there for a few seconds. on the second day, she even cried :-( :-( :-( . then on the third day, she poo poo in the potty and no more crying since then....have you potty trained your baby yet?

muimui,

valerie 唔係日日都臭臭架, 有時隔日, 隔兩日都試過. 我差不多日日都俾少少congee valerie食, 又冇話少去左poopoo wor. 我直情零運動細胞, D手腳硬係co-ordinate 唔到咁

小肥佬

你個笑話勁好笑. 希望mini-matt 打完針冇fever or any discomfort lah...valerie 都就快打luu, 支針咁勁, 等我check個appointment几時先...我記得好似係生日之後, 如果佢有fever 咪冇得攪party ooooo, check左喇, 係佢生日第二日 等我改遲2 weeks 先.

clarab,

仲有三個月生得, 好快你個肚就好free, 但個人就好唔free.

nillie,

恭喜你law左greencard, 份工點呀? amanda係daycare開心?

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

natamama:
I didn't bring Clarence to any play group when he was little, remember I am a working mom? is kinda hard to juggle the time and he started his schooling age at 2 years and 8 mos and yesterday was his last day at that nursery shcool, times flies, he is going to pre-k next week la, sometimes when I look at him, I wonder how did we raise this little guy from a baby to a big kid now
and of course when I look at Clarice, man, another 4 years from now.......

muimui:
How nice is your co-worker, when I was pregnant with my girl,seriously, I barely carry my son and not even any other baby at all, seems like you have a really good job, people are so nice and warm. :wink:

whalebb:
Hope you and your 2 little girls are feeling better now, your hubby is so sweet, you know is easy for a woman to give up her career for the family but is extremely hard for a man to do that, you surely find a good man :-P

carina_mom:
Glad to hear that you are doing fine now, I have a friend, her in-laws will live with their 3 children and they take turns, they will stay with one kid for few mos and live with the other one for few mos, maybe you can use this method too since your sister in law is willing to live with them but your in-laws will not loose their CA benefit, the most important thing, you will have your private time(like 6 mos/year) when they are not with your guys, this way you will not make your hubby feel bad by sending his parents away. :wink:

meemeewe:
Same here, so now I like to cuddle my little girl, try to enjoy the time being as much as I can , since we are the working moms, I kinda treasure the time more and when the kids got bigger, they are more independent and don't stay close to us as much as when they were little, everything mommy mommy, Candace is 1st grade la, what a big girl :lol:

yan:
Welcome, welcome, I live in NYC with a 4 years old boy and a 2 months old baby girl :mrgreen:

All:
I felt so bad because my memory card from the digital camera was broken, I lost all the pic. from Clarice 2 weeks old till 2 mos old, including the pic. that we took from her 1st month banquet :-( :cry:
I was trying to upload the pic. but I guess something wrong with the drive, now we can't open the card up, I guess everything is gone la, :cry:

Little Fat Man,

I'm so happy, Miss Natalie is finally walking la. She will do 5 to6 steps each time How is your new 9-5 Does Mini-Matt like playing at the office Maybe we can go visit you sometime

Clarab,

I haven't seen you on MSN these 2 days, where have you been Miss u and Evie ar

Yan,

I'm sorry, I don't have know how to get rid of the "poison" from birth wor I never gave me baby any "cool tea" or chinese herbs until recently. Actually it's my grandma who gave her a little sip of "cool tea"

Cutie-Mommy,

I always thought you were a full-time mom with Clarence. I know it's so hard to juggle work and activities with baby. Even as a full-time mom, sometimes I'm too lazy to bring her to playgroup and sometimes the playgroup falls on her nap or mealtime There is a toddler program offered by my city but it's at 9:15am, I'm not sure if I can get ready so early Maybe you bring the memory card to local camera stores, sometimes they can find the pictures.

Whalebb,

Hope you win big money at vegas and get well soon

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

智仔媽咪

How wonderful your little girl behaved so good on the plane and jetlag didn't bother her too much..
Mini-matt and I won't stay in HK too long , maybe only 2-3 weeks. ..

Natmama

CONGRATULATIONS... "慢慢前路,有幾多風波,一一細心賞" 等我贈你同NAT 幾句歌詞啦..
The nurse did remind us that mini-matt might lose his appetite, get a fever or rashes in the next 14 days.. So far, mini-matt is pretty good (TOUCHWOOD)..Hopefully, nothing will happen to him.
Yesterday, we went out for dinner after the ped. One of the old couples talked to us when we're leaving , they said " I want to check your son" and " maybe we should have another grandson." they were so nice
I think BBs can say " mum mum" for asking for food, is their instinct.. Mini-matt has done it since he was young. This morning, his dad was sitting with him on the balcony after he got up .. when he was ready for his breastfast, he looked in the house and kept saying " ma ma" ...Even now, if he wants to get away from the cage, he calls me pretty loud..



valbee

My husband won't let mini-matt go to the playgroup , he thinks mini-matt's too young and it's too easy for him to get sick. He wants to wait until he's 3 years old.. .. some men are stubborn as a women .
I had a 4D ultrasound when I was 29 weeks pregant. I could see mini-matt's face very clear.. Everyone just said mini-matt's got my nose (that flat).. Even now , everyone still said the same thing
Not every baby will get sick after 1-year-old shot. So don't worry la... ..you still have a big party for valerie


CUTIE_MOMMY

it will be too bad if you lose all your pics.. I will save them in CD rom after I finish one disc...
Hopefully, you can fix it ...

Clarab

not yet, I'm still a stay-at-home mom til they paint the place..But I'm still very busy today.. Mini-matt's Baptism is on Sunday, his god-parents will buy him a suit. Today we're going to the mall to check it out.. After this message, I have to clean up the house again because we willl have a party after the baptism.


mrsyip

The result of skin test was fine..
I had a same skin test before I interviewed the immigration officer. My result was negative too.. My lungs were very clean la ...
I know the air pollution is very serious problem in HK. There is a small city but tons of people live there . I hope mini-matt and I won't get sick ..

yan831

what symptoms does your girl have ? I didn't give mini-matt any "cool tea" or chinese herbs either.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

valbee,

I'm also bringing her to the level 3 class as she will soon be 11 months old. I hope she'll like it as she is like a social butterfly. I just have started to let her sit in the potty 3 days ago after we came back from HK, this morning she only pee in the potty but no poo, she usually will poo everyday but not at a regular time. For now, I only want her to know the function of the potty and let her get used to sit there.

Natmama,
How are you? It's good that your little girl has started to walk, you must be very excited to see her start out her 1st big step, right? My girl likes to crawl and cruise around all the time, she also likes to climb up the stairs, sometimes I just feel so tired to watch every moment as she just can't stop moving.

小肥佬,
When are you going to HK and where are you staying? Don't worry as I think it'll be better for older babies to travel as they don't need to nap so often, it'll make easier to adjust to the time. My girl was little when we went to HK, she always look tired and sleepy at daytime for the 1st week so that's why she has jetlap problem. If you can hold on his nap time during the day and make him sleep earlier at nite, it should be more easier to avoid jetlap.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

cutie mommy,

i feel bad to hear that you have lost all the pic in the flash card. i suggest you to download the pic from the flash card to your hard drive more often, i usually download the pic twice a week. a few months ago, my husband has installed another hard drive in the computer to backup all the pic taken coz hard drive will die too, so saving all pic in a single hard drive is not safe ga. then once in a while, i will copy all the pic to a disk too....D 相咁珍貴, 冇左好可惜.

i dont understand what you are saying about the uploading thing. you said there are something wrong with the drive and you cannot upload the pic, and you also mentioned about the memory card has broken down too....

so from your camera, can you play back the pic taken? if yes , then :
- there are many reasons that lead to upload problems...the flash card itself, the usb cable connecting the camera to the computer ( or some ppl will use a card reader ), the usb port ( there are 8 usb ports in my pc but only one can recognize my mp3 player, strange )
- i dont think it is a hard drive problem, if so, you wont be able to start up your pc luu.

if you cannot see the pic in your camera, then i guess you have erased all the pic by mistake...one last try, you can bring the card to a photo shop and see if they can read the files by their card reader. good luck (我半桶水, 估估下, 最好再問下人, 睇下有冇得救)

ps : my husband just bought a nexstar.2 external hard drive for 120G for $30+after rebate.

yan,

i didnt give any chinese herbal drink or pills (保嬰丹 etc ) to valerie b4 she was 6 months old. i know it is very common in hk that moms these to their newborn babies to 清熱. my mom suggested me to give valerie菊芽麥芽when valerie was 7-8 months old and she didn't poo for 3-4days. i gave this drink to her only when needed ...but no more than twice a month. 你BB好熱氣? i thought your daughter is 6 yr olds, isn't she?

nat_mama

wow, miss natalie makes her first steps lah, yay!!!! 佢驚唔驚呀? 以後你就冇咁得閒, 要多D睇住佢. i went to gymboree today and there are a few babies who are about the same age as valerie...so i can't help comparing valerie to them, hehe. 我覺得D鬼妹/仔BB多數都瘦D, 尤其pat pat ...著左diaper都好似冇著咁, 冇理由仲用size 2片架, 唔明點解咁細...唉! 可能valerie都係似我大patpat.

小肥佬

mini-matt is going to baptize this sunday congrats. 天主教 or 基督教 or 其他教?
以防萬一, i have re-scheduled valerie's pedi appointment to 10/17...so you are going back to work?

Hi Cutie Mommy,
Candace just started 1st grade on Monday. She seems to like the teacher a lot. She showed me her 1st spelling test last night that she did in class. I almost cried because it was her 1st spelling test in her life and she got a 100%! My hubby & I were so happy last night!
Our children's age gap is about the same. Candace is 4 yr. & 3 months older than Marcus. =)

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

hi all,

it's a long long week for me. i've been spending almost 2 hrs each day on the road to send sean to school (20-30 mins x 4, abt 14 miles each way so the gas ran out fast too).

finally, sean started his first day of preschool on Monday. his class is usually aged from 2 to 2 1/2 so the youngest ones. on first day of school, i stayed there for abt 15 to 20 mins with him. when i was there, he's still doing ok. however, once i said goodbye and left, he cried out loud right away. when i looked back, got back to the classroom and tried to tell him that i'll be back soon, he even cried more and louder. when i picked him up from school, the teacher told me that he just cried for a little while after i left. when he came back home, he seemed so happy and kept saying "i can do it. i can do it" (in english).
on second day of school, he didn't cry at all and said goodbye to me. when he came home, he said "i love it" (in english). on third day onwards, he didn't even care to say goodbye to me. for the first week, he's so far so good, except that he didn't let the other teachers but the head teacher (Chinese) to take him to the bathroom. maybe he feels more secured w/ her since she's the only one who knows cantonese there.

also, surpisingly to me, he participated so well in the circle time in school, especially for boys. when i took him to the library for story time, he couldn't stay for too long and usually was distracted by the computers around. same for the Gyboree classes, i just took him there for a couple times and quit. he usually just stayed for the sessions that were interesting to him; otherwise, he just ran around and played in the gym.

btw, i've asked the live-in nanny to go last Thurs. now i just hv a new part-time nanny to come in the afternoons since sean goes to school in the mornings. i'm not sure this one will work out either. she doesn't have much experince as a nanny, but she's more educated than our previous nannies. she was an English high school teacher in Macau and orginally from Shanghai, so she can speak mandarin, cantonese and english.


meeemeee,

wow ... Candance is going to 1st grade already and being such a smart big girl! sigh ... it's still a long way for us to wait til that stage!

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Cutie-Mommy, Little Fat Man, Chimami,

I know there will a lot of "follow up" work now that Natalie began walking. Since she started crawling, we tried to childproof our family room as much as possible. My house is tri-level so I gated out the family room so she is limited to only that area.
I'm hoping she will stay content in the family room. Sometimes when I forget to close the gate tightly, she will open it and climb up to the kitchen and living room, then further upstairs to the bedrooms. I get so scared becuz our stairs are pretty steep, I don't
want her to fall.

Valbee,

I think American babies are more active so they tend to be leaner when they're little. Once they get introduced to fries and chocolate, that's when they outgrow the asian babies :-P :-P :-P I remembered you asked about party games. When I was planning Natalie's 1st birthday party, I was going to rent a jumper and hire a clown if we did it at home. Then we changed our minds cuz it was too much cleanup work. If you look under your local superpages, they should have some party product providers. I came across one that has tsumi-wrestling setup for the adults...kind of cute ga

Sy-Mom,

I'm glad that you finally found something that Sean enjoys and is educational at the same time. How many hours is he in school each day? Does he go all 5 days or just 3 days? After he gets used to the school setting, maybe you can consider full day so you don't have to deal with hiring a part time nanny.

Meeemeee,

Candace is such a smart girl She will be a good role model for Marcus when he goes to school. :lol: :lol: :lol: You must feel proud.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

all,

mini-matt had an accident tonight.. After his dinner, I put him on the floor and I went to the sink. Suddently, I startled to hear mini-matt shouting and crying very loud. I ran to him immedately, I saw his finger stuck in the cabinet door. I opened the door a little and pulled his finger out . I held him in my arms and soothed him immediately.. His middle finger turned red and the skin came off.. It broke my heart... :-( :-( :-( .. After 1 min, he stopped crying and went back to normal. His daddy checked his finger very carefully to see if it was broken or not.. Fortunately, it seems ok .. I know it's my negligence. I hope Nat won't do a stupid thing like mini-matt and Natmam has to keep an eye on her every sec.

valbee and CUTIE_MOMMY

Actually, no one will hire me ..I will just help my husband to send and pick up UPS packages in his tiny little office

valbee

mini-matt will be a catholic pretty soon. Today his god-parents bought him a suit and shoes. It looks good on him.. .. I asked my husband why we should buy the suit for mini-matt, he only wear once , renting a suit will be much cheaper .. He said " why did you buy your wedding dress ? you also only wore it once in your life " I replied " hmmmmmm...."

SY_Mom

I'm glad Sean enjoys his school life and it makes your life much easier ..

meeemeee,

wow, Candace got her good score in her first test. she is such a smart girl ...
